Dockerland

[Rob]

BUMP

Dockerland now appear to be Connolly's number one fan.

All posts calling for CC's head (or even suggesting it) are being deleted. Give bigfooty credit, at least we can generally say what we like here.

I don't get the Dockerland thing.

I don't post there, but find it weird that people endlessly criticise it here, yet still go there.

Doesn't make sense.

Dorkerland, it's owners and moderators are disgraceful. A discussion invites people of all sorts of opinions to post their feelings and thoughts on certain issues. Dorkerland promotes selective editation or for that matter deleted thought inviting groupthink. The disturbing trend is a lot of the supporters on Dorkerland are vastly overrating their team's capabilities, their trade value and so on.

Btw, for those that aren't intelligent enough to realise it, this is not a dig at Fremantle, it's players and it's supporters, it is only a dig at Dorkerland and all it encompasses.

I don't really see a difference? Ok so the odd edited post, but I have seen many posts bagging CC, the Billy Walker Room thingy (which is a non-issue anyway WHO CARES!), players etc...

Totally off topic posts go, as do those that personally attack players for non-footy related issues - because it is not a slag off personal lives board.

If you mean that Dockerlanders are generally a bit more positive about the team and don't all thrive on laying in with the boot about everything and anything, then that is probably true I rekon.

I read BF for the wider footy views, but Dockerland is certainly a great spot for Freo related discussion, the match reviews are top notch, and the previews. Some people don't get it when they are overly optimistic, but it is all just a bit of gamesmanship and excitement building.

So it is not perfect, but is Big Footy?

Dockerland is a disgrace. The Dockerland motto should read

"Dockerland.....telling you your opinion since 1995"

Dasler, wow I'm really shocked that as a Toaster you don't like Dockerland!! Stop the f'n press!

Shove it up yer clacker you yellah and blue tosser.

Firstly dockerland moderator, I am a South Fremantle follower through and through, moreso than AFL. Secondly, yes I do support the Eagles. Thirdly, I am a WA football supporter so I would like to see the Dockers do well.

Do some reasearch before you start telling people their opinions again Shane

 

[funkyfreo]

ha ha That is great - I think I am one of Shane's least fave posters actually!! Different name but my name was already gone on BF. I can gladly say I'm not shane. Sure it ********es me off sometimes but usually it just removes total drivel and a wide range of views are allowed so long as they are reasonably well founded.

i) I'm a Dockers fan - I quite like the current eagles list and the way it plays and see the potential, but that doesn't mean I support them one iota. Don;t pretend you like to see Freo do well just so you can justify anything you say against them. There is no fence to sit on.

ii) Because you are a sowfs man should I think you are more Freo Dockers than a Dockers fan from Mongolia. No you are a toaster and that's that. I see now that you dislike Freo because you havre a latent WAFL sowfs love - don't be so bitter and move with the times.

ii) You are a west coast fan = don't like Dockerland - other than Carneagles level headed guru of blue and gold he is.

iii) I didn't tell you your opinions, I told you to shove it up yer clacker! You're not shoving hard enough I think? Try again.

Good. DL is the board where all the lazy journo's go for a story.
All the anti CC posts then get regurgitated in the media as "Freo supporters are upset etc" . This then gets read by non DL readers and taken as fact and repeated ad nuaseum to the players & coaches .
The end result is our coaching staff and player group are under more pressure and less confident than they should be.

Entirely counter productive IMO.

Sometimes Freo supporters are their own worst enemy.

Keep dreaming sunshine.....keep dreaming. There is a thing called SEARCH, try typing South Fremantle AND dasler into it.

Very good point actually, and is probably the reason DL is so heavily editted.

I don't get it?

As for the previous post - the same could be said for BigFooty - you could get the same stories off this site.

It is more a problem about having the web in general - what is essentially a fans site can be quoted out of context to make it seem as though a dodgy media angle has some credibility. It is not DL alone.

My point with Dockerland was, Shane deletes ALL posts resembling anything other than positive feedback on the club. You cannot say as an opposition supporter Luke Webster wasn't ready to play in the derby as he had just come back from a 3rd knee recon, it's the business end of the season and he is tagging one of the inform midfielders of the competition is a poor tactical decision. Deleting a comment like that, makes no sense when it is the truth and NOT detrimental to anyone, just an opinion?

As for dodgey journalists, well I would agree in entirity, just dont question my motives as a supporter of South Fremantle, West Coast and to a lesser extent Fremantle, which encompasses WA Football.

 

[Ripper]

Dasler usually has some insightfull comment.

 

[purplesoul]

Dasler I hadn't visited DL this week so far. Just had a look then and can assure you they are not all positive posts. In fact there seemed to be quite healthy debate.

 

[funkyfreo]

Editing aside, DL's benefit is that you can actually discuss Freo with Freo fans, without every thread being trolled though by other fans, and notably toasters, who sidetrack the issue with what is basically an anti-docker attitude rather than anything constructive.

As for Webster, it would be just as valid to say that he needs game time, and the future and not Finals 2004 will benefit from him playing in the game, as he is a genuine star for the future - however I take your point that what you said was not particularly inflammatory. But I'm surprised as I think DL has many views that are against the Freo hierarchy.

As I say I've had many posts deleted on DL, and think it is insane, but I just like the place.

A big example is Jeff Farmer, now I am a big Farmer fan, but when the incident earlier in the year was all over The West, as a Freo fan I was interested to find out what was going on rather than innuendo. Fair enough deleting inflammatory posts (see the BF farmer thread for an example of tripe), but I was totally supportive of Farmer I guess. When it became clear that any post referring to Farmer was being deleted, I posted that maybe DL could run a Factual editorial on the issue, and point out that all posts would be deleted to avoid ugly exchanges about what was essentially a private issue. To this day I'm still dissapointed that DL chose to bury its head in the sand.

But it does not make it an evil anti-free speech site, it just tries to keep it to footy.

Maybe you have a rep on DL as being a WCE loving sowfs troll? That was a joke btw.

 

[Streaker]

How many of those "healthy debate" posts have [edited by Dockerland] underneath them? Criticism is one thing, but edited criticism is propaganda. You are welcome to Dockerland and the one eyed opinion it offers, after all it is a Docker site for Docker supporters.

 

[funkyfreo]

I know that at least half of [edited by...] posts of mine have been purely correcting spelling, or the like. most of the rest have been maybe removing a line that in hindsight was either off the topic of footy (remember it is not a general site - just a dockers site), or basically stupid.

Anything racist goes, and generally inflammatory goes.

So "CC should think of rotating so and so, I think he spends to much time at sowfs" is ok, but

"CC is a total tool and Freo are crap" to start a thread well that would be deleted I think.

You west coast fans - I have no idea what your other eagles sites are like because why in the world would I want to go there??? Why do you want to be at Dockerlandm if not to troll for trouble?

 

[Moo]

I mean posts by morons like Yakusa and Luke are just pure gold here, who could forget the ever clever "You Suck" or the wimsical and cutting "Dockers are Shockers".

For the record -

I dont like brussel sprouts therefore I do not buy or eat them.
I dont like A Current Affair therefore I do not watch it

Do you get the drift, dont go there? or if you can do better I look forward to your site (only Q can can mock me on this one)

& Finally ......

Me I like Dockerland but there are a lot of sites around, but when you line them up together DLand wins hands down.

For the record I aint Shane either

Ahhhh the old "if you go there you must be a troll" argument. You really are brainwashed aren't you. I bet you even giggle at every egurls reference.

Get off the grass.

If Shane (you?) has the time to edit so many posts simply to correct spelling, he must have the single worst life ever.

The guy must be a total hermit.

Well he probably has some time on his hands simply by not worrying and whinging about other sites.

I respect the fact that you can read threads on DL that are coherent, well structured and lacking spelling errors.

Of course, I deeply offended one of my fellow Freo supporters earlier in the thread when I pointed out that some of the editing appears to be cleaning up spelling errors. So I can see why DL is not for everyone.

A lot of editing is just removing the dreaded smilie's and "Go Freo's" as well. Once that happens a few times the penny drops and you don't use them.
